The song was performed 15th on the night of the contest, held on 18 March 1961, following Luxembourg's Jean-Claude Pascal with "Nous les amoureux", and preceding Italy's Betty Curtis with "Al di là". The song received 24 points, placing 2nd in a field of 16, the third consecutive second place Eurovision finish for the UK for whom two subsequent Eurovision entrants would also be second place finishers before "Puppet on a String" by Sandie Shaw would give the UK its first Eurovision victory at Eurovision 1967.

Are You Sure

I am braking all my rules and promisesBy feeling what i'm thinkingForcing myself to be in controlOf what i'm saying when i'm drinkingAnd now there is time to stop and readAll the smaller parts within meAnd if your mouth was saying words in brailleWould you be scared to feel them for realAre you sureIf this is what you mean'couse if it's notYou're reaching in betweenI know it's hard to change itBut you really should break throughI know it's hard to sayBut important that you doPeople will respect some oneWho dares to speak his mindIf not then live your liveWith the ones who stayed behindBreak though find outWat you want to sayRun through make sureWhen you talk to meBe ware take care of your internal wordsSpeak out what's inBefore they start to burn
